Is this strictly for undergrad degrees/certifications? My DH is going to go back to get a degree in finance once I'm AD in San Antonio and this would be a huge help for that.ETA - oops, missed the link the first time around. . .sorry. . . :)
It's for any level degree program, certs, etc.!
I am a 4th semester Nursing student and I graduate in December. I recently got approved for the My Career Advancement Account and wish to use part of it to pay for my licensure examination fee (NCLEX) and state board fee. I was wondering if anyone here has ever used it for such and if so, how did you do it or what is the name of the organization/school that I put this under? I can't find NCLEX or National Council for State Board of Nursing (NCSBN) or even the state board of nursing that I want to get my license in (AZ State Board of Nursing). I typed in every possible name related to these organizations but I can't find it.I saw teacher certifications and even Physical and Massage Therapy licensure examinations in there but none for nursing.
I called up Military Onesource and was told that if it is not in the drop down list then I would have to invite them to join - send the packet and letter, etc. But I'm thinking that someone somewhere must have done this before. If not, I guess I would have to start the ball rolling which will take at least 90 days (too long a wait to take test but I guess good for the future "generations"). Help!

Military spouses are being allotted a free $6,000.00 in tuition for almost any career/schooling. If the spouse's husband is active military (have to be deployed if reserve or guard) then the spouse should be eligible.
This looks like a great program!! Here is a link to get started and for people to go to:

Hope it helps a lot of people!
